Title: Breaking the distance-duality relation to address cosmic tensions
Speaker: Elsa Teixeira
Institution: Università di Montpellier, Francia
Date: Wednesday December 11, 2024
Time: 4:00PM
Location: Aula Conversi, Marconi Building (CU013), Dept. of Physics, 
Sapienza University

Abstract: Persistent cosmic tensions arise from discrepancies in the 
cosmological distance ladder constructed from different distance 
observables, such as BAO and SnIa, which are calibrated using 
measurements from either the early or late Universe. These tensions are 
typically evaluated under the assumption that the distance-duality 
relation (DDR) holds, allowing for a direct comparison between 
measurements of the luminosity and angular diameter distances. In this 
talk, we will examine the implications of relaxing this assumption and 
considering more general relations. We will discuss how this approach 
impacts the interpretation of current cosmic tensions and its potential 
to clarify whether new physics is needed to address these discrepancies.
